Here’s one for the thinkers onboard… suggest a design for a 6’6" 230 pound customer, fair to good physical condition and a long-time surfer age 51. Will be used to ride waves not more than head high, moderately crowded reef breaks.
This is a customer far out of the range of normal population. He doesn’t want to have a big mac attack just to get a wave, and he very seldom drops in on anyone, relying on knowledge of his spot to get a better line-up.
What say you? Let the mad fun begin…
It seems that everyone is too shy for this challenge. Maybe there are too many possible answers. How about some more info, I mean who would want to suggest an outrigger canoe if the man is into mat surfing? What about a big wave gun?
Shortboard, longboard, or funboard?
He can easily ride a 6’10" big guy tri around 21.5 wide, 3" thick, flat decked, 13" nosed, 16" tailed. If he wants to shortboard.
No problem.just increase the width and thickness a tad.You can do this with most designs and would be hardly noticable.Herb
life rolls on.
Just rent the guy a soft-top and forget about it. McDing
